DK Shivakumar said a dedicated team led by the BBMP Commissioner was carrying out the delimitation work.

Overview

  • PMC’s draft sets 41 multi-member panels electing 165 corporators, with 40 four-member panels and one five-member panel in Ambegaon–Katraj.
  • PCMC’s draft retains 32 prabhags with four corporators each, totaling 128, and keeps the panel system unchanged from 2017.
  • BMC has released a 227-ward draft for Mumbai and invited written objections and suggestions through September 4 before hearings.
  • Objection hearings are scheduled for September 5–12, with civic bodies aiming to finalize drafts in mid-September and issue final notifications between October 3 and 6, according to officials.
  • The delimitation relies on 2011 Census data and technical mapping tools, forms part of a Supreme Court-directed restart of stalled local elections, and follows years of administrative rule since 2022.
